weather or scorching sun. The exquis¬ 
itely formed, long buds are of apricot 
with just a suggestion of bronze. The 
open blooms are somewhat lighter with 
sunset shades of gold and apricot-yel¬ 
low. Joanna is one of our favorites. 50c.

white, tinted with lemon in center.

gorgeous rose which we like better each 
year. The long, high-centered buds of 
orange-yellow are veined and splashed 
with scarlet and the reverse of the 
petals is streaked with orange and car¬ 
mine. Lady Margaret likes hot weather 
and the color is most intense in summer; 
spring blossoms are sometimes rather 
pale. 50c.
